Search Called Off

There was a sailboat that radioed in saying that their electronics were starting to fail. The Coast Guard sent out a search team but they didn't find them. They searched for two whole days and covered over twenty-thousand miles. There were four people on a boat, there were three adults and one four year old child. They lost radio contact when the man on the radio said that they were going to have to abandon ship because it was capsizing and would sink shortly. They didn't find the family or the capsized boat. They have no idea on who the family was or where they were going.

Top Movie

'A Good Day to Die Hard' brought in $29.3 million in four days. All together the movie brought in $37.5 million. 'Identity Thief' came close to being number one but just missed it by $2 million. 'Identity Thief' was Jason Bateman's biggest opening in a movie. 'Safe Haven' was also up there bringing in $25.2 million. All movies gave a run for the top ranked movie but the 'Die Hard' series is just too good for anything else.

Chris Brown Not Happy at the Grammy's

Chris Brown was at the Grammy Awards and was nominated for an award. As they announced the winner of the award, everyone gave a standing ovation except for Chris Brown. The news spread quickly on twitter and was re-tweeted by many of social media groups. Before the Grammy's he was at a court hearing about lying about his community service. He also happened to crash his Porsche the week before too.

Superbowl Ads

An ad during the Superbowl costed $3.8 million for 30 seconds. This was the most expensive ad buy on television. The only reason that it costs so much is because of all the people that watch it. Subway bought two spots to play an ad during the Superbowl. Another reason the Superbowl is a great spot for ads is because of all the free media publicity about the ad. Newspaper journalists write about the ads which gives them even more publicity than just having all the people see it during the Superbowl.

Bombings

Two people died in Turkey just outside of the capital. The attack was believed to be from the Al Qaeda or a group from Iran. The U.S. consulate sent out a message telling the visiting Americans in the country to not visit any U.S. places for a little bit for fear of another bombing. They are working on investigating the blast and finding out who did it but they are still working on that.
